New Year's Eve

I'm drinking my second glass of Vieux Clicquot and plan to have a couple more before 2014. I'm adding to my bucket list to visit the champagne region of France. What an incredible vacation that would be.

Mr B worked this morning and then had lunch with the owner of the company for which he works. I ate almonds for lunch. But now the grill master is working his magic on dinner: filets, rice and green beans. And of course more Vieux for his Princess.

Today I'm creating a day of rest. I'm back on the pills for shingles so there's not much else I can do. Tonight I'll stay awake and worry about the safety of the lovely McCarley sisters. The mom gene is always active.

About Me

I live in Houston with my sweet husband and smallish fluffy dog. As an adult, I've raised two daughters and enjoyed a successful career in marketing communications as a consultant and copywriter. Alas, my daughters don't need me to mother them anymore and it seems some think I'm over the hill and no longer beneficial in my field. HA! Fortunately, I still have lots of creative thoughts and ideas, so I've established a second career as a craftsperson who sews purses, totes, aprons, pillows, t-shirt quilts, etc. from antique, vintage and reclaimed fabrics and trims. I also enjoy upcycling old tin canisters into jewelry. And since I became a first-time grandmother in August 2014, I enjoy making baby blankets, quilts, burp cloths, etc. I started this blog to encourage myself to create at least one item every day, whether it's something sewn, upcycled or marketing related. Why? Because I AM RELEVANT!
